These pieces are transparent sheets, painted and suspended inside acrylic boxes. By superposing these acetates, they create three-dimensional images.

Geniuses is the natural continuation of herprevious work, Smoke. This evolution, while maintaining the germinating essence of Smoke, shifts from painting to sculpture.

Geniuses are fantastic creatures of mesopotamic and arabic mythology, invisible beings that take different forms and are associated with the divine realm.

The identity of each Genius is subject to the spectator´s perspective. Depending on the perspective they exist or cease to exist, they are or they are not.

When one is located at an angle where the Genius is not present, the case and the lamins suggest the presence of something more. This continous suggestion of the Genius creates a confrontation with the spectator, a sense of incompleteness, that is what thrusts one to move and change perspective until the Genius is revealed. It is only upon the revelation of the Genius that one comprehends the work, achieves harmony. This process of search, of perspective, of movement that culminates in a revelation, is key to understanding the nature of each piece.
